Gdansk (known historically as Danzig ) is located in the northern part of Poland, on the Baltic Sea coast. Its old town is a real jewel box, the unique colorful houses, small streets, and the church bells ringing again and again create an atmosphere as if we were traveling back in time. However, most of the buildings that we can see today are not that old… The Great Armory Mariacka Street Gdansk Old Town To understand and get to know Gdansk to some extent, a brief historical

Baltic amber, also known as succinite, is one of the most valuable natural treasures of the Baltic Sea region, formed over millions of years and has played an important role in culture, art, and even medicine ever since . Baltic amber originated about 40–50 million years ago when ancient coniferous trees, mainly pines and spruces of the Pinaceae family, secreted resin in response to injury. This resin dripped onto the ground or ran down the tree bark, trapping a variet

Figueres is a small town in Catalonia, known to the world as the birthplace of Salvador Dalí . In the city centre is the Teatre-Museu Dalí , or Dalí Theatre-Museum, which not only presents the oeuvre of the most famous figure of Spanish surrealism, but is itself a work of art that completely dissolves the boundaries between reality and dream. The museum opened in 1974 , partly in the former municipal theatre building, which was bombed during the Spanish Civil War. Dalí par

When you're in Barcelona, it's easy to get lost in the hustle and bustle of the city: Gaudí's wonders, tapas bars, sunsets on the beach – but if you have a day to dedicate to nature and something completely different, Montserrat is a place you shouldn't miss. It really is like stepping into a completely different world, and you don't even have to go far. The train leaves from Plaça d'Espanya and in less than an hour you'll be at the foot of the iconic, saw-toothed mountain.

If you've ever dreamed of Andalusia's sun-drenched hills, whitewashed villages and flamenco-tinged cities, then this itinerary is for you. Seven, seven magnificent locations – each with its own character and atmosphere, yet in perfect harmony with each other. I visited some amazing cities in this region on a road trip with my family in August. The heat is extreme at this time, so it's worth preparing in advance with sunscreen and plenty of water if you're planning a trip in t

Seville, the center of Andalusia, is the epitome of the southern Spanish way of life. The atmosphere of the city immediately captivates the visitor: narrow, cobblestone streets, flower-covered balconies, orange trees that bear fruit all year round, and the melodies of flamenco captivated me too. It is worth booking accommodation in the center, because this way we can explore the sights on foot. I stayed at the Hotel Boutique Casa de Colon , a two-minute walk from the cathedr

All of the Canary Islands, but especially Gran Canaria, offer much more than many people think: it's not just the year-round sunshine and beautiful beaches that make it worth traveling here. On this island you will find a desert with beautiful sand dunes, a mountain pine forest , a banana plantation , a cactus park , colorful rocks , and even an old salt distillery . I spent a week here and I was not bored for a second. I arrived at the end of January and was greeted by a

As a child, my favorite holiday was Christmas. The decorations, the lights, the cozy atmosphere enchanted me every year. It’s no different today, I’m still a Christmas fan and I take every opportunity to experience this special festive atmosphere. That’s why I felt like I had to see these wonderful Alsatian cities in December, because it’s no coincidence that Strasbourg is called the capital of Christmas… I have been planning this trip for a long time and managed to organize

Saint-Paul-de-Vence is not just a small village nestled on a hilltop – it is more of a living gallery, where art, nature and history coexist in a harmony that I have felt so clearly in few places. Already near the town, along the road lined with olive trees and cypresses, you could feel that you were heading towards something special. As I entered the village through the thick city walls, it was as if I had fallen into another era: cobblestone streets, arches, flowered window

It is a place that seems to float on the edge of a fairy tale on the mountainside, somewhere between the clouds and the sea. The road to get there is already an experience in itself – the panorama becomes more and more impressive as you drive along the winding Grande Corniche , until you arrive at a tiny, medieval village that seems to have stopped in time. Getting to Eze from Nice is easy. If you rent a car or take a taxi, you can take the famous Grande Corniche or Moyen

Nice is a city that you can easily imagine on postcards, but in reality it is much more than that. When I arrived, the first thing that struck me was the light – somehow everything seemed more vibrant here: the blue of the sea was deeper, the sky was brighter, the colors of the buildings were more saturated. The Mediterranean atmosphere immediately permeated me, and I knew that I would not be in a hurry here. Nice is not just a beautiful city on the coast - it is the heart an

Marseille is not a city you understand right away. But if you give it a chance, if you let the noise of the streets, the smell of the sea and the southern French sunshine take hold of you, something grabs you – something raw, real and very much alive. It is the oldest city in France, but it is not a dusty museum. Marseille is a true Mediterranean mix: French, Arab, African, Italian – yet very different and completely its own. The streets are filled with music, conversation, a

I am a Paris fan, I want to make this clear up front. I read a lot of negative reviews about how much this city has changed, how it has lost its appeal, the many tourists, the poor public safety in immigrant neighborhoods, the lot of trash, and the not-so-friendly behavior of the French were the most common reasons listed. I think a well-organized trip to Paris is still a great experience, so now I want to share some ideas on how you can still make your trip to Paris magical.

A study found that the series has increased interest in and desire to travel to Paris, with many tourists visiting the city to explore the locations where Emily, Gabriel, Camille, Mindy and the others live. Of course, one can argue about how realistically Emily in Paris presents the French lifestyle, how stereotypically and at times degradingly it portrays French people and culture (and European culture in general), but it certainly puts Paris at the center of attention; the

Paris and the macaron are almost inseparable – these tiny, colorful, elegant sweets are now not just a cake, but one of the most emblematic symbols of French lifestyle, sophistication and Parisian pastry art. Anyone visiting Paris must sit down in an elegant pâtisserie and taste some of these little jewel-like delicacies while watching the hustle and bustle of the street with a cup of coffee. The macaron is not just a dessert – it is the essence of the Parisian atmosphere. Th

Brandenburg Gate (German: Brandenburg Gate ) One of Berlin's most famous and iconic neoclassical monuments, it is a symbol of the history of not only Berlin but also of all of Germany, and is often referred to as a symbol of peace, unity, and freedom. Built between 1788-91, commissioned by King Frederick William II of Prussia. Inspired by the Acropolis in Athens. Originally a city gate on the western border of Berlin. Structure: 12 main columns, six in front and six in back

Berlin is a city where history and modernity meet in perfect harmony, and where there is a new exciting discovery waiting for you on every street corner. It is one of the most special times of the year, when the city's most famous buildings are illuminated by stunning light installations and video projections, bringing Berlin's symbolic history and creative spirit to life. What is the Festival of Lights? The Festival of Lights is a ten-day event, usually in October, during

Moscow is a city that never shows just one face. At first glance, it is austere: monumental buildings, military symmetry, somber colors – but then it suddenly opens up like a Russian matryoshka doll, and layers emerge one after another: vibrant art, underground culture, postmodern cafes, elegant metro stations, and of course, history, which lives here not only in textbooks, but also in the air. Moscow is not just the capital of Russia, it is a symbol. It has existed for over

I managed to get to Russia with my family before the war. I'm still very glad about that, because - political issues aside - it's a wonderfully beautiful country, and it was a great experience to look around the two most famous cities. We bought multicity tickets and first traveled to St. Petersburg, then took a high-speed train to Moscow , and from there we finally flew home. Let's take a look at the stops of our journey in order! St. Petersburg The history of St. Petersbur

Bali is a real bucket list destination , but if you go based on the film Eat, Pray, Love or the pictures you've seen on social media, you'll probably be disappointed. However, if you approach the island and the people there with an open, accepting, and patient attitude, you will have a great experience. Because Bali has traffic jams, the road conditions are mostly bad, you can sometimes see a lot of garbage along the roads, the monkeys can be rude if you poke them (at Uluwatu
